This is the same as my other thread I just wanted to change the title...... that is all
Hey guys, I'm new here. I recently bought a rustbucket of an '84 200m that I was planning on fixing up. I got the engine running with just a new spark plug and cleaning/rebuilding the carb, but the frame, brakes...well....the rest of it is shot, so I was planning on just salvaging the motor out of it. I came across a 1984 trx200 and was able to pick it up for real cheap. Everything on it is good except for the motor. SO, the plan was to just swap over the 200m motor and call it a day. When I got it home I realized that the trx200 was a SHAFT drive. I didn't even notice before. SO, now I have TWO projects on my hands. I will be fixing up the motor on the trx200. I will also be acquiring an '85 200x roller to put the 200m motor in.
The problem with the trx200 motor that I know of SO far is that the cam chain broke. Today I ordered a new cam chain and sprocket, gasket kit, intake and exhaust valves, and a flywheel puller. Hopefully I'll replace all of this, throw in a new spark plug, and clean out the carb a bit and she'll fire right up. My fingers are crossed. I'll keep you all posted and throw up some pics later if you are interested.
